bored out of doing nothing-part II

A 24 hours first hand story of a final semester "single" VITian male suffering from "project semester" syndrome

I wake up at 7:00 am, it’s too early according to engineering standards, I agree but after sleeping at nine the previous day even sleeping seems a monotonous task. I have my breakfast amidst the relatively calm atmosphere of north Indian vegetarian mess, which is generally crowded in morning with hungry people with groggy and puffy eyes due to either over sleeping or night outs watching movies or playing DOTA, Counter Strike or FIFA over the LAN. I get back to room and wait patiently for the newspaper guy to deliver the newspaper so that I can while away another hour or so. With no fixed agenda to while away the time between newspaper browsing and lunch I read a few pages of novel or take a short shower. Finally the mess opens again for lunch, I have my lunch and move to the campus then while away some more time before snacks. I surf the net a bit in the lab, frankly there’s not much to browse as orkut and g talk are banned. Finally bored I move to library to read a few more magazines or to pick up a book to kill some more time at my room. After what seems like ages its 5 o’clock. 5 o’clock is a heaven on otherwise dry campus life out here in VIT. It’s a time when classes come to an end and couples and potentially single females roam around in the campus encouraging singles like us to loiter around braving the hot sun. Finally the day comes to an end and I move to mess again to have my last meal of the day. By the time I reach room one of my roommates is smart enough to get a movie or an episode of roadies or big bang theory or even sa-re-ga-ma-pa to while away the time till mid night. Finally another day comes to an end and I think of new ways to kill the next day lying on the bed.

P.S- if it’s Saturday we watch a movie in hall for a change

Believe me friends it’s tougher doing nothing than pretending to be busy doing something

About Me

got the typical brat attitude, though wouldn't brag about me as a cool dude, who listens to rock music, got a cool attitude, really intellectual type, seeking to solve the mysteries of quantum computing, if u r looking 4 someone like that, budge off, i'm just plain boring me, sometimes optimistic, sometimes cynic, a bit sarcastic, a bit witty, a warm friend, a sore outsider, a tough cynic, a tad eccentric...sometimes all at the same time
